"The Eight Directions Thunder Illusion Formation is indeed extraordinary." Deep in the Xuanyu Mountains, somewhere in mid-air, more than a dozen figures stood suspended in the sky, looking at the huge formation filled with thunder and lightning in front of them, all showing surprise.
"This formation ranks among the top ten among the many sect-protecting formations in Tiannan. It is one of the treasures of Huanyun Sect. When Patriarch Yunyang left with a group of elite disciples, he thought of taking them with him. , it was two clan elders who personally came forward to persuade him, and they were able to save him." The speaker was a middle-aged man with handsome appearance, tall stature, and wearing a silver brocade robe. He was Qi Huaiyu, the younger brother of Qi Huaiyuan, the head of the Qi family. After receiving the summons, he personally went ten miles away to greet him, which was a great honor to Mo Juren and his party.
"The names of the two elders of the Qi family, Mo, have long been heard. It is said that they have a close personal relationship with the Yunyang ancestor of the noble sect. In this case, why did the Qi family not go north with them, but chose to stay in Xiangzhou? ?”
"What does it matter no matter how good the personal relationship is? Family interests are fundamental. I don't need to say this. I think Brother Mo can understand it with his wisdom. In short, if the Qi family chooses to leave, everything will have to start again, and it may not be as good as Stay." Qi Huaiyu shook his head slightly, with a very disapproving look on his face.
"Brother Qi is very insightful." Mo Juren nodded in agreement. At least the Qi family has invested in the Yuling Sect. Not only can the benefits of the original business for many years be preserved, but also more can be obtained on this basis. How can Happy but not doing anything.
This is also the fundamental reason why most families are unwilling to leave. Leaving home is not the best choice after all, but sometimes it is necessary.
While speaking, Qi Huaiyu took out a blue token in his hand, with a lightning mark engraved on it. With a gentle wave of his hand, the turbulent sea of thunder in front of him slowly parted, revealing a passage several feet long and wide.
Everyone did not waste any time, and the royal magic weapons entered one after another, and the separated thunder sea was restored to its original state.
…
A few years ago, when good and evil attacked, the senior leaders of Huanyun Sect were unwilling to become pawns in the struggle between the two powers, and instead chose to go north to the Tiandao Alliance. There is an alliance of many neutral countries, and the cultivation environment is freer.
And with the departure of the top management and many elite disciples, the huge accumulation of the sect over the past countless years was also taken away, and Huanyun Sect was almost falling apart. After the disciples at the bottom learned about the situation, they were worried that they would be enslaved by the good and the evil and become cannon fodder, so they also chose to flee, and most of them decreased in just a few years.
Nowadays, those who are still staying in the sect, except for some who are really unwilling to leave, most of the others are more or less involved with several families headed by the Qi family, so they are willing to stay and advance and retreat with these families.
However, there were still too few people left after all. More than two thousand people, plus the children of various families, had to be scattered to maintain the operation of the sect, which was obviously a bit stretched.

"It's so deserted!" On a mountain road somewhere, people were walking slowly forward. Xie Yuyan glanced around and couldn't help but sigh.
"It makes Xie Xianzi laugh. There is nothing we can do about it. At present, not only are there a huge shortage of resources, but there is also a severe shortage of talents. Several of our families have come together. Although we have gathered some Talisman Masters, Weapon Refiners, and Alchemy Masters... Masters and formation masters, but they still cannot meet the needs..." Qi Huaiyu sighed and said,
"After the family made the decision, they have cleared away all the hidden secrets in Haoran Pavilion that they knew about, but it is impossible to deal with them completely. Thinking about it, the other party has got the news now, and it won't be long before they take action. We must seize the time to accumulate information. Enough resources to be ready for emergencies.”
"I don't know how long this battle will last, so it's best to make some preparations." Mo Juren nodded and said,
"The sect attaches great importance to you, and the ten of us are just the first batch of support to deal with emergencies that may occur in the early stage. After a while, there will be a second batch, including Nascent Soul stage strong ones. If it exists, then there is no need to worry too much.”
"Will strong men from the Nascent Soul stage come here?" Upon hearing this, Qi Huaiyu felt ecstatic in his heart, and his original anxiety was swept away.
"The location of the Xuanyu Mountains is very critical. Controlling this place is equivalent to controlling the entire northern region. Naturally, the sect will not ignore it. It is inevitable to send Yuan Ying stage elders to take charge. However, we know this. Haoran Pavilion It is also clear that there is still a tough battle to be fought, and it will not be easy." Mo Juren reminded the other party again.
After hearing this, Qi Huaiyu's original excitement immediately calmed down.
What the other party said was true. The location of the Xuanyu Mountains was indeed crucial, as it belonged to the core of the entire northern region. As long as Haoran Pavilion has no intention of giving up, it will definitely send elite forces to fight for it.
However, at this time, he was no longer worried. Since it was so important, the Yuling Sect would definitely send a large amount of support. With tall people supporting him, the Qi family would be safer.
After a while, everyone walked to the top of the mountain, and what they saw was a luxurious building complex. Occasionally, some female disciples dressed as maids in the Qi training period came in and out, which seemed very quiet.
Mo Juren was a little surprised, why were they brought here? Shouldn't we meet the head of the Qi family?
"Fellow Taoists who have come from afar, it is best to settle down first. This is the Yingke Peak, where the sect used to receive distinguished guests. Currently, all the courtyards are empty. You Taoists can choose any one as your future residence. …”
"In addition, the two clan elders, brother and sister-in-law are very grateful to you for coming to help this time, so they personally prepared a sumptuous dinner in Qingyun Hall. Everyone will have a short rest and wait until evening Come and enjoy the glory..."
"Qi will take his leave first. If you need anything, you can just ask the maid directly..."
"..."
After a few brief explanations, Qi Huaiyu took the initiative to say goodbye. Naturally, everyone had no objections and gave it away one after another.
It wasn't until the other party flew away that he turned to look at Mo Juren at the same time, waiting for his 'instructions'.
"Since the host's family has made arrangements, let's do as we please and settle down for the time being. If there's anything else, it's not too late to talk about it later."
After hearing this, everyone did not hesitate and immediately dispersed, each picking their own favorite place to live. However, when one of them left, his starry eyes glared at Mo Juren, with a faint hint of anger that disappeared in an instant.
Mo Juren was naturally aware of it, but as if he didn't see it, he walked straight towards the edge. After a while, they entered an independent courtyard. As expected, it is specially used to receive distinguished guests. Both the rooms and the courtyard are built with great care. There are rockeries, small pools, stone pavilions, and gardens. They are much more luxurious than the small courtyard in the Xianyue Valley camp.
There were two beautiful maids staying in the courtyard, obviously specially left to serve.
Mo Juren glanced at the two of them, then walked directly to the stone pavilion and sat down. Then a golden light flashed in his hand, revealing a golden token.
This is the summons given to him by Dongmen Yue, so he can keep in touch at any time.
On the way here, Dongmen Yue sent him a message again. The Yuan Ying stage elders in the sect would arrive at the camp one after another in three months.
In other words, he will have to help the Qi family and other families defend the Huanyun Sect for at least three months, and the task will be initially completed when the second batch of support arrives.
Three months is neither long nor short.
Haoran Pavilion thought that they already knew the situation here. As long as they decided to attack, they would be able to come over in a few days after making a little preparation. There would definitely be no pause in the next three months.
It doesn't hurt to start a fight. The strength of our side is not weak. The Qi family has five monks in the Dan Jie stage, two of whom are elders who are at the peak of the late Dan Jie stage. The other families can also put together six or seven if they think about it. Including his own group, the number of monks in the alchemy stage alone exceeds twenty.
This force is already quite powerful, and with the assistance of Huanyun Sect's 'Eight Directions Thunder Magic Array', even if the Nascent Soul stage monks come, it will be impossible to break through it in a short time.
The only thing he is worried about now is that if the other party is really cruel enough to send out several Nascent Soul Stage monks at once, or to create some powerful treasure, that would be really bad.
Although Dongmen Yue also informed him that there was an agreement between the senior leaders of Haoran Pavilion and Yuling Sect that monks above the Nascent Soul Stage would officially join the war in three months.
However, an agreement is just an agreement after all. As long as the interests involved are sufficient, appropriate violation is not impossible.
If this is really the case, let alone holding on for three months, three days is too long for him, and he will definitely not be able to hold on here. In addition, he himself will also face danger. Although his escape skills are superb, the magical powers and methods of Yuanying stage monks are even more extraordinary. If he is unlucky and gets trapped, wouldn't he fall into a trap?
Therefore, in order to ensure nothing goes wrong, intelligence work becomes particularly important. This is also the premise for how he will deal with it next. Once something cannot be done, it is better to make a decisive decision and run away.
There was nothing he could do in this regard, so he could only place his hope on Dongmen Yue. All the secrets of the sect in the Haoran Pavilion camp are in his hands, and he will naturally know about any troubles at the first time.
Dongmenyue?
Fumbling for the token in his hand, Mo Juren couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
I don't know why, but I always feel that this guy is unreliable, especially since none of the people sent to do the task this time are direct descendants of the main sect. They are all branch sects, or people who have taken refuge later in the years.
This is enough to show that the other party is worried about the mission being too dangerous and causing serious casualties. But if it were them who were not direct descendants, it wouldn't matter even if the whole army was wiped out.
This guy is too selfish. If he pins all his safety on the other party, he will always feel uneasy.
Thinking of this, his heart moved and he vaguely made some kind of decision.
As night fell, Qi Huaiyu came again and invited everyone to join him for the banquet. Everyone finally met members of the Qi family, Qi Huaiyuan and his wife, their two children, and two elders of the Qi family, as well as the heads of several other families and so on.
Not to mention others, especially the two elders of the Qi family, they are both gray-haired old men. Through the introduction, we learned that the two practiced complementary techniques, and together they could even temporarily compete against the early Yuanying monks.
The only pity is that the two of them are old and their lifespan is close to the limit. In this life, they have stopped at the peak state of the late stage of pill formation and can no longer be improved.
The two of them were very open-minded about this. I have experienced what I should experience in my lifetime, and I have enjoyed what I should enjoy, and I have no regrets. The only thing to do now is to protect the safety of the Qi family in the last period of his life.
The night was getting darker, the banquet was over, and everyone chose to leave.
And just when Mo Juren walked out of the hall and was about to leave, a clear and sweet voice stopped him. Turning around, she saw that it was the only daughter of Qi Huaiyuan and his wife, Qi Ru, a girl with a beautiful appearance, a temperament like orchid, but a slightly shy personality.
The two parties already knew each other at the banquet, but they didn't communicate much. Despite this, the other person's shy and timid appearance still left a deep impression on him.
"What's your advice, Miss Qi?" Mo Juren asked in surprise.
"Mo...Senior Mo, stay here, I...I have something to ask you for help..." Qi Ru seemed to be extremely nervous, stuttering a bit when speaking, and kept his head hanging down, not daring to raise his head and look directly at the other person.
"But it's okay to talk." Mo Juren smiled, but he was a little confused. He didn't know what could make such a timid girl have the courage to speak proactively.
The people nearby had not left yet, so they naturally saw this scene. They also showed curious expressions and watched with interest.
Among them, Qi Huaiyuan and his wife were the only ones who had some thoughts and looked at each other but said nothing.
I was already a little nervous, but now that I was being stared at by so many pairs of eyes, I felt even more uneasy. However, thinking about his own affairs, he still mustered up the courage to raise his head, and his jade hand flashed with brilliance, revealing a thick stack of spiritual talismans.
"These are all refined by juniors. I hope Senior Mo can correct me." After finally telling the story, Qi Ru's heart suddenly relaxed, and there was a trace of expectation in his water-clear eyes.
"Huh?" Mo Juren suddenly showed surprise when he heard that this was the case. It turns out that he is a Talisman Master. Could it be that like Lian Feihua, he is also a lover of his own lineage of Black Talisman?
Sure enough, when he took the talisman and scanned it briefly, he confirmed his guess. The difference is that the opponent's talent in the talisman field is much stronger than that of Lian Feihua. Most of the ones in his hands have reached the quality level.
"This girl has been fond of this way since she was a child. She especially admires Taoist Fellow Mo's style of talismans and has long wanted to get your advice. Today may be a bit presumptuous, but it is also my little girl's wish. I hope fellow Taoist Mo will not blame you. "Qi Huaiyuan suddenly spoke and took the initiative to explain.
"It's okay." Mo Juren smiled, looked at Qi Ru again, and asked,
"What do you want from me?"
"I wonder...can I get some advice from you?" Qi Xi spoke subconsciously, but suddenly paused, and then continued.
"Of course." Hearing that it was just such a trivial matter, Mo Juren naturally did not refuse. He even showed a jade slip in his hand and handed it to the other party, saying,
"I'll give this to you. You can learn about it when you have nothing to do. In addition, if you have any questions during this period of time in Fulu, you can come to Yingke Peak to find me at any time."
The content in the jade slips was the "A Brief Talk on Ink Talisman" produced by Lian Feihua. He felt that the quality was good and it was suitable as an introductory textbook on Talisman.
Therefore, I took the initiative to make several copies of it, thinking that if I encounter a suitable seedling in the future, I can cultivate it appropriately. I'm lucky today. Qi Ru's talent in Fulu is definitely at the top level.
You can also get gifts, which must be extremely precious information. Qi Ru didn't know whether he should accept it or not. It wasn't until Mo Juren briefly explained a few words and encouraged him that he happily accepted it.
"Thank you, senior!" Qi Ru's face was full of excitement as he wrote the jade slip.
"Since you have such a talent, don't waste it. Of course, don't waste your practice because of it..." Mo Juren smiled and gave a few instructions, without stopping, and then left with his hands in hand.
After a while, all the guests had left, leaving the Qi family alone. At this time, Qi Feng on the side suddenly flashed his eyes, came to his sister's side and said with a smile:
"Didn't you say you wanted to become a disciple? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
"I want you to take care of it!" Facing his younger brother, Qi Ru's whole temperament suddenly changed. How could he still be shy at all? He glared at the other person fiercely, and then looked in the direction of the air again, with a faint hint of unconcealable joy in his eyes.
"Uh..." After being rejected, Qi Feng suddenly looked depressed. I also asked with good intentions, as for such a bad attitude? On the other hand, Zou Xue, as a mother, vaguely guessed something, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes.
